Silver bromide (slightly yellowish white) and silver iodide (bright yellow) are also significantly more photosensitive than is AgCl. [1] [4]: 46 AgCl quickly darkens on exposure to light by disintegrating into elemental chlorine and metallic silver. This reaction is used in photography and film and is the following: [5]
AgCl does not form by direct combination of Ag + and Cl-, rather through the transformation of soluble species AgCl n + 1 –n (0 ≤ n ≤ 3) first formed from the combination of the Ag + and Cl-into the solid AgCl phase. [1] This reaction is a reversible reaction and is characterized by fast electrode kinetics, meaning that a sufficiently ...
A silver halide (or silver salt) is one of the chemical compounds that can form between the element silver (Ag) and one of the halogens.In particular, bromine (Br), chlorine (Cl), iodine (I) and fluorine (F) may each combine with silver to produce silver bromide (AgBr), silver chloride (AgCl), silver iodide (AgI), and four forms of silver fluoride, respectively.
Silver hypochlorite is a chemical compound with the chemical formula Ag O Cl (also written as AgClO). It is an ionic compound of silver and the polyatomic ion hypochlorite. [1] [2] The compound is very unstable and rapidly decomposes. [3]
Metathesis reactions can occur between two inorganic salts when one product is insoluble in water. For example, the precipitation of silver chloride from a mixture of silver nitrate and cobalt hexammine chloride delivers the nitrate salt of the cobalt complex: 3 AgNO 3 + [Co(NH 3) 6]Cl 3 → 3 AgCl + [Co(NH 3) 6](NO 3) 3
In aqueous solutions, redox potential is a measure of the tendency of the solution to either gain or lose electrons in a reaction. A solution with a higher (more positive) reduction potential than some other molecule will have a tendency to gain electrons from this molecule (i.e. to be reduced by oxidizing this other molecule) and a solution with a lower (more negative) reduction potential ...
AgCl (s) ⇌ Ag + (aq) + Cl − (aq) However, there is a limit to how much salt can be dissolved in a given volume of water. This concentration is the solubility and related to the solubility product, K sp. This equilibrium constant depends on the type of salt (AgCl vs. NaCl, for example), temperature, and the common ion effect.
In electrochemistry, the Nernst equation is a chemical thermodynamical relationship that permits the calculation of the reduction potential of a reaction (half-cell or full cell reaction) from the standard electrode potential, absolute temperature, the number of electrons involved in the redox reaction, and activities (often approximated by concentrations) of the chemical species undergoing ...
